Release notes for Plone 6.0.1

For technical wizards who want to jump straight in, here are two important links:

Highlights

Major changes since 6.0.0:

  • Zope:
    • Set the published default Content-Type header to text/plain if none has been set explicitly to prevent a cross-site scripting attack. Also remove the old behavior of constructing an HTML page for published methods returning a two-item tuple. This fix was already included in Plone 6.0.0.1 and 6.0.0.2.
    • Various other packages have fixes for this to avoid regressions.
  • plone.restapi:
    • Internationalization of @users endpoint error messages.
    • Add pt_BR and fr translations.
  • plone.base: Add missing TinyMCE plugin autolink to selectable plugins.
  • Products.CMFPlone: When autologin after password reset is enabled (this is the default), use the same adapters as during normal login. Specifically: the IInitialLogin and IRedirectAfterLogin adapters.
  • plone.recipe.zope2instance: Add new option asyncore_use_poll to waitress config file. You might need this when you have fast-listen enabled, which is the default, and run into 100% cpu usage on all Plone instances. But investigation on that problem is ongoing.
  • More Zope community packages have gotten official, tested Python 3.11 support.

Volto frontend

The default frontend for Plone 6 is Volto. Latest release is 16.9.0. See the changelog.
Note that this is a JavaScript frontend that you need to run in a separate process with NodeJS.
The Classic UI is still available when you only run the Python process.

Python compatibility

This release supports Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11.

Sorry, I forgot to check if the plone-backend Docker image was already available, which it is not. Should be there soon.
